    Your metallic colors look perfect, Cricket (@bikequeen). I am astounded by some of the detail in the wheel, chain, etc. Really well done.

    This is truly amazing, Cricket @bikequeen
    With three snowstroms in a row you have at least plenty of time to spend on this kit.

    @bikequeen, it is going to be a stunner once it's all together. Kind of nice to be forced to stay inside and work on model kits. It's dangerous outside. 😉

    Every component looks great, Cricket @bikequeen, I particularly like the spoked wheels and the chain. I’m not if you can attach movies to iModeler, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong.

    Taaa Daaaa! The Honda Africa twin is done …actually finished it a couple days ago but have been procrastinating taking photos. Weather hampered the completion 3 days ago ice storms made it difficulty t paint …luckily i painted the large parts early small pieces I could set out the back door shoot them and be done 🙂

    So without further ado….he we go 😉

    And introducing the Africa Twin Twins :). (Mirrors are off the red bike as they break off easily)
